Your Inspiration Invitation
It’s becoming a monthly tradition now — Heather Huffman and Nicole Rivera are invading the Fictionistas Substack community to
Inspire you to write fiction
Get you to Write Together
Share Your Stories, and
Feature Your Fiction on our Fictionistas Substack page
We call this invasion The Great Substack Prompt Celebration. Keep on reading to see how you can join in this month!
What is The Great Substack Prompt Celebration?
The Great Substack Prompt Celebration is a month-long writing adventure open to any and all fiction writers who are currently writing their own Substack. If you want to read a detailed description of our motivation and inspiration, please read our first post from our February launch:
If you are ready to jump into the fun this month with us, here’s are the steps:
Step 1: The Writing Prompt Party/Get The Prompt
If you are available for our Live Writing Prompt Party hosted on Thursday, May 11, 2023 at 6PM Eastern Time, this is the perfect place to begin. You will meet up with other participants, get the prompt early, get time to begin your story and to read it aloud to the group while listening to what others were inspired to write.
If you can’t make it to the Writing Prompt Party, the Writing Prompt will be shared in a post on Fictionistas on the night of May 11th, after the Writing Prompt Party, so keep an eye on your inbox.
Step 2: Share Your Story
On Thursday, May 18, 2023 we will host a thread post inviting you to share your story of the month. Continue the Prompt Celebration by participating in these ways:
share a link to your story or story excerpt (no longer than 1000 words) based on the prompt of the month
read and share your fellow Fictionistas’ work!
Step 3: End the Month with Applause
We will conclude the month’s celebration by sharing one more post featuring:
Your Favorite Fiction of the month (make sure you use that LIKE button in the thread of the month!)
Heather’s Favorite Fiction of the month, and
Nicole’s Favorite of the month (see what we picked in February! or March! or April!)
Make sure you check out this post to cheerlead those in the spotlight, or to shoutout the fiction you want to shine a spotlight on in the comments!
Let’s Get Started!
Go sharpen your pencils and charge up your laptops, you have one week to warm up before all the fun begins. We can’t wait to write with you this month!
Your Official Invitation to Party
Remember, the May Writing Prompt Party will be on May 11, 2023 at 6PM Eastern. We would love to see you there!

I'll mark the date and try and join this time, if I have not fallen asleep! (6pm EST is midnight here). 😴
I need to figure out what time this is in the UK and maybe I'll join. I'm assuming it's open to all genres?
